This thread has really gotten me into the soundtrack. What I love, besides the music just being plain awesome, is that he used a lot of old music from GW1 and updated into the newer music. I still get that awesome nostalgia feeling from the first one, but at the same time it's updated and new. IDK if that makes any sense but whatevs

Asura / Sylvari kind of tie. I like Asura theme because it has the oriental aspects. The sylvari one simply stands out as being the most 'different' of the bunch. The rest are far too cliche for my tastes.

I voted human, though Norn and Sylvari come in at a close second. Charr theme is dead last, which is ironic because that's my first choice for race to play (since I'm picking a Guardian, I'm adopting the philosopy "go big or go home"... Plus, I want to see how far I can go making a Charr equivalent of the stereotypical paladin look. Will I be able to make angry kitty into holy kitty of virtue? We shall see =P ).

Its really hard to pick because they all have the same thematic material. I think its absolutely fucking BRILLIANT of the composer to do to unify all the races under one melody that is merely varied.

However, if at the end of the day I had to pick one, I'd actually say human. It is very late 17th cen./early 18th cen. classical in the sense that it opens up with the "Guild Wars" meldoy that we're all familiar with in a "slow introduction," that leads up the primary theme slightly varied from the established melody from the slow introduction, then it continues to develop the "Guild Wars" melody in a way unique that is not heard in any other race's themes.

The same could be said for the Sylvari, but this is due to the fact that the GW theme is burred in the Sylvari theme.

He does the same with the Elder Scrolls games, Jeremy Soule is just simply brilliant. Everything he does is beautifully composed.

I noticed that. I youtube'd the Elder Scrolls themes and it is just... amazing work. So much depth to his compositions. So much so that I say that Mr. Soule's music is a character in the game by itself. The music supports the scene, or feeling, perfectly; but also can stand on its own as simply beautiful music.

Off-topic:

Has anyone noticed Jeremy's last name? Soule? Hinting at the passion maybe that he puts into his work?
